    Direct lending work covers agreements for lending money directly to a borrower by a bank or alternative lender, including documentation of facilities, terms, covenants and security. A solicitor drafts, reviews and negotiates loan agreements, guarantees, security documents and related notices; advises on regulatory compliance, anti-money laundering checks, and enforcement options if a borrower defaults; liaises with lenders, borrowers, brokers, and counterparties to progress drawdowns and repayments.

    “Rachel Bushell, Ash Simpson, Michelle Pollard and Chris helped us with four residential remortgage cases recently and the entire process was very smooth and only took 4 weeks (one case only took 14 days!) which in the current Covid environment is nothing short of a miracle! Very happy with the professional services and expertise of Nelsons' residential and commerical conveyancing team and Nelsons' corporate team and would highly recommend them to anyone.”
